Coach Oscar Orellana replaced Joan Penarroya. How did he help the team in Munich? 


Barcelona turns things around under Coach Orellana

Time will tell if this was [Oscar Orellana](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/fc-barcelona/bar/orellana-oscar/)'s only game leading [FC Barcelona](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/fc-barcelona/bar/). 

The 45-year-old, who was named interim head coach last Sunday after [his former boss Joan Penarroya was fired](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/barcelona-sacks-joan-penarroya/), insisted ahead of Wednesday's game against [FC Bayern Munich](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/fc-bayern-munich/mun/) at SAP Garden that his job was to make his players look forward.

"We have talked and what we asked is to focus on winning the game against Bayern Munich tomorrow," Coach Orellana said the day before the game. "This is what we asked the team, not to think about anything else but preparing the game really well yesterday and today to beat Bayern. We have to think about beating Bayern in Munich without thinking about anything else."

Orellana got the job done as Barca left Munich with a morale-boosting 74-75 victory. Rather than focusing on the end of the game and how close it was, let's take a look at the things he changed and how he managed to make the team more effective in such a short period of time.

Defensively, Barca managed to be very effective against a team that entered this game on a three-game winning streak, a run that had seen the German side average 87.3 points per game. One of the *Blaugrana*'s main tasks was to stop [Andreas Obst](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/andreas-obst/004508/).

Last season, in Barca's last visit to SAP Garden, Obst set an all-time EuroLeague record by burying 11 three-pointers to lead Bayern to a 100-78 victory on November 22, 2024. [Tomas Satoransky](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/tomas-satoransky/002939/) was his designated defender on Wednesday night, a player with enough size, quickness and experience to limit him, denying him the ball as much as possible. Obst finished the game with 3 points on 1-of-8 shooting and a PIR of -6.

Coach Orellana relied on [Willy Hernangomez](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/willy-hernangomez/003196/), giving him an offensive specialist role. In his 16 minutes on the floor, Hernangomez was often his team's first option on offense, getting 10 points. In his previous five games, Hernangomez averaged just 2.6 points and never played more than 15 minutes. A new situation could make one of the best scoring centers in the EuroLeague bounce back and look more efficient.

Willy Hernangomez had 10 points off the bench to help FC Barcelona get a 74-75 road victory over FC Bayern Munich in Round 10 of the EuroLeague Regular Season.

By focusing on getting Hernangomez and [Jan Vesely](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/jan-vesely/000925/) involved on offense, Barca got many more paint touches, looking to score around the basket. Before this game, Barca averaged 26.8 three-point shots per game. It took 17 in this game, and just 6 in the first half as it built a double-digit lead, 32-43. Another stellar halftime stat that spoke wonders about Barca's defense was the fact that Bayern had just 2 assists at the break. The hosts averaged 18.0 assists before the game and they ended up having 14, but also 14 turnovers.

With Obst out of the game due to Satoransky's defense, [Spencer Dinwiddie](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/spencer-dinwiddie/014162/) kept the hosts in the contest with 16 first-half points. He went scoreless throughout the second half until he drew a foul at 73-75 with 1.2 seconds left. Dinwiddie missed his second attempt, allowing Barca to head back to Spain with the win.

In short, Barca took fewer three-pointers, looked for a more balanced offense by getting its big men involved, and was really smart on defense, trying to stop the players that could potentially hurt its chances to win. Satoransky led the way with 13 points and a PIR of 22, [Will Clyburn](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/will-clyburn/004888/) added 12 while [Toko Shengelia](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/tornike-shengelia/001133/) joined Hernangomez on 10 points.

"Before I talk about the game, I didn't really have a chance publicly to say thank you to coach Joan Penarroya," Shengelia said after the game. "And I want to use this opportunity and say thank you on behalf of the team as well for everything that he has done for us this year.

"Also, congratulations to coach Oscar \[Orellana\] and the staff. They did an amazing job preparing the game. These are the type of situations that either break you or make you, so this brought us together. And it tells you about the family spirit we have inside the locker room. We played as a unit, both offensively and defensively, and it also showed on the court. I'm really happy for my team that we got a win down today."

After the game, Satoransky went back to Coach Orellana's words before the game. The focus was on Bayern, and Barca got the job done.

"I feel excited and relieved. I think it was a well-fought victory. In the EuroLeague, you have to fight until the end, so that what's happened," Satoransky said. "I think we stayed together. This situation is obviously not the best right now, but we are trying to stay together, show it on the court and move forward. And I think that's the most important what we did. We just focused on beating Bayern. That's what we did. And now let's see if we can continue and to find some stability into that."

Barca returns home to face Virtus Bologna, Shengelia's former team, on Friday night.

The interim head coach replaced Joan Penarroya on Sunday. How did he help the team in Munich? 


FC Bayern Munich v FC Barcelona (2025-11-12T19:30:00.000Z)

Georgios Bartzokas’s side hit the ground running against Zalgiris Kaunas, with a spectacular Tyler Dorsey coming out firing for the hosts. Despite Olympiacos grabbing a comfortable 95-78 victory, the opening stages saw a back-and-forth affair – a situation Dorsey has been thriving in so far this term.

Tyler Dorsey roasts Zalgiris’s defense as Olympiacos dominates in Piraeus

[Zalgiris Kaunas](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/zalgiris-kaunas/zal/) came into Wednesday’s clash boasting the stingiest defense in the EuroLeague, averaging just 76.2 points conceded per game. The visitors hadn’t allowed more than 79 points in any of their last seven games, with their defense playing a major role in their four-game winning streak ahead of the game at [Olympiacos Piraeus](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/olympiacos-piraeus/oly/).

But the Reds were having none of it. Georgios Bartzokas’s side hit the ground running, with a spectacular [Tyler Dorsey](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/tyler-dorsey/009849/) coming out firing for the hosts. Despite Olympiacos grabbing a comfortable 95-78 victory, the opening stages saw a back-and-forth affair – a situation Dorsey has been thriving in so far this term.

The Olympiacos guard opened the scoring with a jumper before hitting a pull-up from the elbow for a 4-2 lead. Zalgiris bounced back with [Edgaras Ulanovas](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/edgaras-ulanovas/002329/) making a couple of free throws, but Dorsey drilled one from deep and then netted twice inside, scoring 12 of Olympiacos’s first 14 points of the game to make it 14-9.

Having set the tone early, Dorsey gave the mantle to [Nikola Milutinov](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/nikola-milutinov/003941/), who ended the first quarter on 7 points, with Olympiacos establishing a double-digit lead (28-14) after 10 minutes. The Greek side never looked back, with Dorsey finishing the first half on 15 points and his team 50-36 ahead at halftime.

“It was a great game,” Dorsey told EuroLeague TV. “They are a tough team. We came here right from the jump ball and had our gas on the pedal. We didn’t slow down in the second half as well.”

Eager to finish the game off, the hosts came out swinging in the second half. Olympiacos stepped up its defensive game, holding Zalgiris to just 17 points in the third quarter and securing a 74-53 cushion heading into the fourth.

Unwilling to let the momentum drop, Dorsey made sure he’d get himself on the highlight reel. After scoring an alley-oop two-pointer in transition, he nailed an off-balanced triple off the glass while drawing a foul from former teammate [Moses Wright](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/moses-wright/012878/). On his way to complete the four-point play from the charity stripe, he heard the fans rhythmically chanting his name in recognition of his sublime performance.

“I always appreciate love and positivity,” Dorsey added after the game. “There’s lots of negative stuff in this world today. Any love and positivity feels good. It feels great. Hopefully I can make these fans happy this year, the whole year and at the end the big goal.”

Dorsey finished the night on a season-high 30 points, just two points shy from his career high. Having dominated on both ends of the floor, Olympiacos extended its winning streak against Zalgiris to nine games.

“We scored 95 points against the best defense so far in the EuroLeague,” Coach Bartzokas told EuroLeague TV. “It was a good offensive performance and I think that it was also really good defensively if we take out the second chances that we gave them.”

In fact, Olympiacos’s defense has stepped up over the last three home games, giving up 58, 71 and 78 points, respectively. It remains to be seen if the Reds can emulate that defensive effort on the road in their bid to complete a perfect double-round week at EA7 Emporio Armani Milan on Friday night. 

As for the offensive end, Olympiacos is aware that it's covered as Dorsey will be there again pulling the strings.

It’s fair to say that EA7 Emporio Armani Milan’s preparations for Wednesday’s home meeting with LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne were far from ideal.

Armoni Brooks inspired absence-affected Milan to third straight win

It’s fair to say that [EA7 Emporio Armani Milan](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/ea7-emporio-armani-milan/mil/)’s preparations for Wednesday’s home meeting with [LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/ldlc-asvel-villeurbanne/asv/) were far from ideal.

Firstly, the Italian team lost two of its most experienced players – [Marko Guduric](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/marko-guduric/004004/) and [Zach LeDay](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/zach-leday/008987/) – through injury. Then a flu bug swept through the camp, forcing [Shavon Shields](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/shavon-shields/007831/) and [Ousmane Diop](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/ousmane-diop/013385/) to miss the game and also depriving Milan of its coach, as Ettore Messina retired to his sick bed and assistant Peppe Poeta stepped up to lead the team into action.

Any concerns, however, that Milan would be adversely affected by all those absences were quickly dispelled as [Armoni Brooks](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/armoni-brooks/013384/) scored the first 5 points, before big man [Josh Nebo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/josh-nebo/011199/) emphatically announced his return from injury with a bone-crunching put-back slam for a 7-0 lead.

Milan proceeded to lead throughout the game to secure a third straight win… but that doesn’t mean it was easy. Committing 14 turnovers and allowing ASVEL to grab 14 offensive rebounds kept the visitors well and truly in the game, and the 80-72 outcome wasn’t decided until the final few seconds as the home fans inside Unipol Forum were forced to endure a nervous finale.

The biggest plus of the night for the hosts was a stellar performance from Brooks, who netted a career-high 23 points on 5-of-8 shooting from three-point range, also adding 6 assists for another personal best.

The 27-year-old guard, now in his second season with Milan, admitted it was far from a perfect performance by his team but emphasized its mental durability during a game that provided plenty of hair-raising moments as ASVEL kept on fighting.

“We’ve been building some momentum, so my biggest thing was being consistent and being resilient,” Brooks said. “It’s not gonna always go the way we want it to go, but we’ve got to stick together, bounce back from tough situations and keep pushing forward.

“There’s always room for improvement, I feel like we had a lot of live ball turnovers that led to either buckets on the other end or fouls, so we’ve got to clean that up.”

Fellow guard [Leandro Bolmaro](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/leandro-bolmaro/008985/) also excelled with a combination of 15 points and 8 rebounds, but he was quick to pinpoint the other area in urgent need of improvement by Milan before Friday’s showdown with Olympiacos Piraeus: “Box out, oh my God! Offensive rebounds were unbelievable for them,” he lamented. “So we have to box out and make sure we get these balls, so we can run and don’t give them second opportunities.”

Overall, though, it was a positive evening for a Milan team which led from start to finish, and Poeta – who is widely tipped to eventually permanently succeed Messina as head coach – had no complaints.

“I have to congratulate my guys, they gave everything on the court in a tough situation without some important players,” he said. “It was not an easy one, but we were leading all the game and were clinical at the end to close it.”

ASVEL was also missing important components, with [Nando De Colo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/nando-de-colo/002100/), [Edwin Jackson](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/edwin-jackson/000229/) and [Thomas Heurtel](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/thomas-heurtel/klt/) joined on the absentee list by [Shaquille Harrison](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/shaquille-harrison/013371/), who suited up but did not play a single second as coach Pierric Poupet called on just nine players.

The ASVEL boss was in no mood to make excuses, though, as he admitted: “We did not stick to the game plan, especially on the personnel. We left Brooks open three times and he scored. We don’t have enough personnel and talent to play randomly, so we’ll have to do better next time.”

ASVEL fought until the end but was unable to pull off a late comeback

### [Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv 114-89 Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2025-26/hapoel-ibi-tel-aviv-baskonia-vitoria-gasteiz/E2025/92/)

Hapoel IBI Tel Avi remained top of the EuroLeague standings by thrashing Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz 114-89 at Arena 8888 in Sofia on Tuesday night. The hosts led from start to finish, demonstrating their offensive prowess from the off. 

Following a tight affair in the first quarter, Hapoel pulled away, taking a 58-48 lead into the second half. A 2-11 run fueled by Hamidou Diallo brought the visitors within 71-66, but Elijah Bryant singlehandedly restored a double-digit lead which was maintained by Hapoel until the final whistle. The Israeli side improved its record to 8-2, with Baskonia dropping to 3-7 after its three-game winning streak came to an end.

Bryant went 8-for-12 from the field and led all scorers with 24 points, which he paired with 9 rebounds. Antonio Blakeney and Chris Jones netted 15 each. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot paced Baskonia with 19 points and Mamadi Diakite added 13.

Partizan held on for a dramatic 78-76 home win over AS Monaco and snapped its four-game losing streak, improving to 4-6 after Duane Washington poured 22 points while Aleksej Pokusevski added 17 to go with 7 boards. Monaco, which saw its three-game winning run ended, dropped to 6-4. Nikola Mirotic paced the visitors as he sank 17 points while Mike James and Alpha Diallo netted 13 apiece.

Roared on by a fervent home crowd, Partizan got off to a lively start as the inspired Washington scored 11 of the home team’s opening 15 points to engineer a 15-4 lead before Monaco hit back to turn the tide and nose ahead 19-20 at the end of the first quarter. Former Monaco guard Nick Calathes got Partizan going in the second with 5 successive points and a tit-for-tat battle ensued as the lead kept changing hands in a physical contest. Driven by a Sterling Brown three-pointer, Partizan carved out a 36-32 advantage at halftime on the back of ironclad defense.

Partizan surged ahead in the third quarter and led 64-49 ahead of the final 10 minutes, having hit a flurry of three-pointers after the break. The hosts looked in complete control after more good shooting from beyond the arc extended the their advantage to 74-54 before Monaco conjured an incredible 0-22 streak to nose ahead 74-76, setting up a grandstand finale. In an error-strewn last 2 minutes, Partizan somehow forced the final twist to come out on top in a heart-stopping rollercoaster.

Virtus Bologna put on an unforgettable display in their penultimate appearance at the Paladozza on Tuesday night. Dusko Ivanovic’s men pulled off a 99-89 win over a stubborn Anadolu Efes Istanbul team, breaking their three-point record in the process.

Virtus opened up an early lead, which it held for most of the half, sparked by Matt Morgan, who came off the bench to add a scoring punch. As the players left for the locker room, the hosts led by 3. An incredible shoot-out started in the third quarter, as both sides let it fly from deep. Morgan hit a pair of threes to open the fourth quarter, widening the gap for the home team. However, just when they started to pull away, Efes pushed back, staying in the game through aggressive offense.

As the clock ticked away, a minute of pure defensive hustle and execution in transition down the stretch saw Virtus open up a double-digit lead out of nowhere. Carsen Edward made an incomprehensible deep shot in the final minutes to punctuate their dominance, inspiring the fans to erupt into song.

Basketball City celebrated, as their team broke the club record for three-pointers made. They scored 18 from 84, improving on their previous record of 16 against Monaco in 2023.

Alen Smailagic recorded 17 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, while making 5 of his 7 attempts from downtown. Carsen Edwards led the way in scoring for the victors with 21, Morgan’s 13 played a huge role and Luca Vildoza earned a game-high 7 dishes. The 10-point victory means that the Black V move to 5-5, while Efes slides to 3-7 in their EuroLeague campaign.

Valencia led for the entirety of the second half as it beat Real Madrid 89-76 on Tuesday night, a result that means *Las Taronjas* are 2-0 against Spanish teams this season. The two teams exchanged leads through the first 15 minutes, but once Jaime Pradilla drained a three-pointer to make it 35-32 with 4:17 remaining in the second quarter, Valencia remained in front the rest of the way. Pedro Martinez’s men are now 4-0 in games with a crowd at Roig Arena and 6-4 overall, whereas Real Madrid is 1-5 on the road and 5-5 on the season.

Omari Moore was Valencia’s leading scorer with 16 points, followed by Nate Reuvers and Darius Thompson with 14 points apiece. Real Madrid was led by Trey Lyles, who had 23 points in defeat. Facundo Campazzo chipped in 15 points for the visitors, Theo Maledon had 14, and Mario Hezonja poured in 11.

Check out what the coaches and players are saying ahead of Round 10 of the 2025-26 EuroLeague season.

Pregame quotes hub: Round 10

## Wednesday, November 12

### Olympiacos Piraeus vs. Zalgiris Kaunas (20:15 CET)

**Georgios Bartzokas, Olympiacos head coach**

"It’s reflected in the standings what they really are. First of all, they are a team with the best defense in the league, allowing 76 points per game if I’m not mistaken. They play with great intensity and energy on defense, they foul, and they play tough. They have clearly defined roles and the best plus-minus in the EuroLeague. They’ve achieved big wins, and that has to do with the way they play. They have good chemistry and deserve congratulations. In general, they’re a very hard-to-beat team, and if you’re not ready to play a high-effort game, you’ll pay for it. You should definitely expect a game with a lot of contact and physicality. That’s how the game will be, because that’s how Zalgiris forces you to play. If you don’t match that, inevitably you’ll have problems."

**Tyler Dorsey, Olympiacos guard**

"They’re playing very well so far; they’re a dangerous team. We have to be ready for a very tough battle and a high-level game. We need to be prepared both mentally and physically and bring the win home. It’s a big game, and we need to get the victory to start the double week on the right foot."

### 

### FC Bayern Munich vs. FC Barcelona (20:30 CET)

**Gordon Herbert, Bayern head coach**

"Barcelona has a very talented team. As in recent games, we need a complete team performance on both sides of the court. Having the right presence in the zone will play a key role."

**Johannes Voigtmann, Bayern forward**

"Barcelona has a great roster, even if the season hasn't gone perfectly for them so far. After the change of their coach, they will be particularly motivated and they have the starting five that scores the most points. Specially in a home game, it will be important for us to bring a lot of energy and defend well so that we can play fast. With our fans behind us, we want to get the next win."

**Oscar Orellana, Barcelona interim head coach**

"We have talked and what we asked is to focus on winning the game against Bayern Munich tomorrow. This is what we asked the team, not to think about anything else but preparing the game really well yesterday and today to beat Bayern. In order to do that, it is important that everyone is at their maximum level and that everyone takes a step forwards as players, asking to take responsibilities as individual players and as a team, and our commitment to the club. We have to think on beating Bayern in Munich without thinking about anything else. We haven't talked again about what happened and everyone knows very well what we have to do, which is preparing the next game. On Monday, already 90% of the focus was on preparing the game against Bayern. I see the team with good mentality. When there is a coaching change, everybody reacts one way or another. Since the moment I saw them yesterday, I see the team looking forward to moving forward. We spoke to the captains and they will help us deliver the message inside the locker room."

**Tomas Satoransky, Barcelona guard**

"Obviously, we know we are facing is a very difficult situation. The players have already talked about it inside the locker room and have emphasized that being together is the best way to get through these tough times. The season doesn't stop and the competitions don't stop, and for us, in this situation, the most important thing is to focus on beating Bayern Munich. We’ve had a very important chat inside the locker room. Everyone has to reflect on what he is doing wrong and which extra effort we can do, each of us, to help the team win. We have to think on playing better and winning games. We all have to do something extra. Bayern is a very well-coached team that runs the fast-break really well. I think they are the best team in the EuroLeague when it comes to fast-break. We have to come out with energy and I hope we have it after what happened. We have to control the rebounds and stop their fast breaks. They are a smart team which by running the floor, they get energy and confidence."

### EA7 Emporio Armani Milan vs. LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne (20:30 CET)

**Ettore Messina, Milan head coach**

"It is a very important game for us. All games are important but now we want to carry over the last few outings and keep improving. ASVEL paid a price to the injuries, as happened to many more teams, but they have maintained a high level of athleticism and organization, especially at the defensive end of the floor with their 3-2 match-up zone. We need to pay attention to the little details, especially rebounds and ball movement, in order to get the win."

## Tuesday, November 11

### Dubai Basketball vs. Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade (17:00 CET)

**Jurica Golemac, Dubai head coach**

"They are playing very good basketball. They are playing the best in the EuroLeague at this moment: very aggressive, very energized, very intense. We are going to need to be very good in the shot selection to prevent their easy baskets, to prevent their offensive transition. We need to run back. Everybody needs to be extra focused and extra, extra supportive to each other. The second thing that is very important is that they are one of the best teams in second-chance points. We are going to need to help each other with rebounds, to be able to rebound and to try to run. At home, our fans always give us the energy to get a couple of easy baskets, to provide us with confidence and momentum."

**Aleksa Avramovic, Dubai guard**

"We play against a very good team, experienced team, playing with big physicality. They had a strike of seven games, they changed the coach, that coach gave them new energy and we know how to prepare for this game. We know that it will be very challenging to play against such a physical team, but of course we have our quality and we know what we need to do to beat them. Basketball is a game of details and in many of our road games, we had the opportunity to win a game and the little details decided it. One possession, one box out, one running back in the pass break and such little things are big if you want the game to finish in your favor, so we need to be focused all 40 minutes."

**Filip Petrusev, Dubai forward**

"We have to just fight for 40 minutes. They are maybe the best team right now in terms of their form, so we just need to be ready for the fight for 40 minutes and be really physical because they do everything. They go for rebounds and play hard defense, so we have to do the same and just respond with our physicality and with our talent, try to fight for our chance to win. All of their players, they go for offensive rebounds. All their players, they try to be physical and play hard defense, so I think it will be both and if we can keep all these things under control, get the rebounds and run and have as many possessions as them, I think at the end, with our talent, we can hope to get the win."

**Sasa Obradovic, Crvena Zvezda head coach**

"We used this day here to prepare a little bit, as much as possible tactically. Everyone is only aware of the strength of the opponent and the game, which we need to win. Every game on the side means a lot. Many teams will have problems here, especially when some players recover, like Avramović, who will play against us. As for us, we want to continue our winning streak. Our focus should just be on the game. It is a great thing that we have the support of the fans everywhere, it just proves the greatness of the club."

**Donatas Motiejunas, Crvena Zvezda center**

"Their biggest quality is that they have a lot of quality players, they are very dangerous, every player can score over 20 points. It is a part of the season especially with trips, as is in this case with Dubai which was six hours long flight which is the longest of the season. When it comes to such trips, we must have a wide roster, where the coach will have at his disposal to change players. The coach is responsible for who will play and who will be on the bench for most of the game."

### Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul vs Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv (20:00 CET)

**Sarunas Jasikevicius, Fenerbahce head coach**

"Maccabi has incredible potential offensively. They are one of the top teams scoring the ball. Very clear idea of the play where guards play a huge role and the bigs are always moving and taking the positions for the rebounds, so a very difficult team to stop, and probably we need to focus on ourselves."

**Metecan Birsen, Fenerbahce forward**

"We have two very important games ahead of us. We’ll step on the court to build a winning habit and keep our rhythm going. We’ll face one of the best teams in the EuroLeague in terms of collective play. We need to stay focused on our own game and be very careful on the rebounds."

**Oded Kattash, Maccabi head coach**

"It’s another double week again, I feel like I’ve only been in Israel for a day and a half and I’m already back here. It’s an intense week, but that’s part of the challenge. You can already see the national team break on the horizon, and we’ll try to come out of this week with at least one win. The last word hasn’t been said yet. We’ll have to go over the video again tomorrow and refocus. I know there’s been a lot of talk lately about us losing leads, but people need to remember it’s not easy to build a lead against teams like these. It’s disappointing, but hopefully we’ll find ourselves in the same situation again against Fener and later against Baskonia, and then we’ll learn the lesson. It’s not simple; Fener isn’t in their best stretch either. They have many tools that can hurt us. We need to learn from our mistakes and play a full game in terms of energy."

**Jimmy Clark, Maccabi guard**

"It’s going to be a good challenge for us as a team. We need to stay focused on defense and let the offense flow. As long as we stick to the game plan and stay together, we can beat any team on any given night. We want to play with pride and bring that energy into every game. If we can do that and play with intensity, we’ll win."

**Marcio Santos, Maccabi center**

"We’re going into a double week and want to win every game. We’ll give our best and our maximum effort — play defense, do everything possible to win. The key is to be the more energetic team, defend better, attack better, and do everything we can. It’s a new team — we’re learning about each other, learning how to defend, how to set the right screens at the right moment. I think we’ve really improved over the past two months. It’s an ongoing process."

### Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv vs. Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz (20:05 CET)

**Dimitris Itoudis, Hapoel head coach**

"We’re getting back on track in this double week against two very demanding opponents. First, Baskonia. They have built a completely new team - with size, athleticism, experience, and talent – and they’re coming into this game after three straight wins. We’re looking forward to this challenge."

### Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade vs. AS Monaco (20:30 CET)

**Zeljko Obradovic, Partizan head coach**

"We’re facing Monaco, a very strong and experienced team. They’ve kept the same core group for several years, while adding some high-quality players to their roster. Their biggest strength lies in their perimeter game, and for us, the key will be to limit their playmakers and creators. We need to bring the same defensive intensity we showed for most of the game in Piraeus. Once again, we’re up against a team with great offensive power, but one that also has players capable of defending at the highest level."

**Sterling Brown, Partizan guard**

"I expect it to be a good game, a hard fight, like I always say. We prepared pretty well this week. They’re coming off a tough win in their last game, so we feel like we need to be even more locked in. The guys are learning the plays, the new ones are picking them up, and it should be a good game for us, one that’s going to get us on a good track."

### Virtus Bologna vs. Anadolu Efes Istanbul (20:30 CET)

**Dusko Ivanovic, Virtus head coach**

"Efes is one of the best teams in the entire competition because they have so many players who are very good at handling one-on-one situations in isolation. They also defend well, have excellent shooters, as well as players in the 4 and 5 positions who know how to open up the court. Like every EuroLeague game, it will be a tough game, but I think that in this game we will have to focus above all on ourselves and try to play to the best of our ability."

**Daniel Hackett, Virtus guard**

"Tomorrow we face a very experienced and physical team. We will have to be good and careful in managing one-on-one situations, especially under the basket where we struggled a bit in the last game. In general, we know that their forwards are very talented, so each of us will have to roll up our sleeves and work well as a team to contain their offensive talent."

**Igor Kokoskov, Efes head coach**

"We’re facing a team that plays with high energy and great intensity. They compete on every possession and they have players who bring a lot of effort into the game. We have to match that energy. Our game plan will be to bring our best game. We have to match their energy which is the number one factor and their physicality. They are playing well at home. They are completely a different team at home and away. So I think we're gonna compete, actually we always compete. One thing that we learned for the last couple of games is that we have to play together and we have to play smart."

**Kai Jones, Efes center**

"I’m looking forward to executing our game plan in tomorrow’s game. As a group the coaches have shown us what we need to do. Today in practice I saw that we are eager to play hard, smart and together. Once we translate the habits that we are establishing in practice and film to the game, we will reach our full potential as a team."

### Valencia Basket vs Real Madrid (20:30 CET)

**Sergio Scariolo, Real Madrid head coach**

"It's a very demanding doubleheader. Of course, playing in Valencia is one of the toughest tasks in the EuroLeague right now. At this stage of the season, they are always one of the best teams in Europe, and I think this year they have even more depth, more talent, more quality, more experience, and they are a very well-organized team that plays with a lot of energy and at a very high pace."

**Edy Tavares, Real Madrid center**

"We have to stick together and learn to suffer through the toughest moments of the game. We know it's going to be very difficult against Valencia as they're one of the teams to beat this year. We have to be prepared and do everything right if we want to win the game."

### Paris Basketball vs. Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens (21:00 CET)

**Ergin Ataman, Panathinaikos head coach**

"Paris plays a lot of running game. Actually, they play like last year, with Hifi and Robinson attacking in the first 10 seconds \[of the shot clock\]. They play a lot of fast breaks, they take shots with Herrera. They are a really athletic team. For us, fast-break defense will be very important, and offensively to show our quality. Just now, we came from the practice and \[Faried\] had the practice with us. He's a very experienced player. He gave very good things in his first practice. He's very energetic, so he has confidence. He's a type of player that we're missing, because without a real center it's very difficult to play basketball. For sure, we will try to use him for 15-20 minutes. In the other minutes, we will use Mitoglou and Kouzeloglou. There is some good news from Holmes, who in 1-2 weeks could come back. The same with Yurtseven. We will evaluate the situations with Holmes and Yurtseven before looking at other players."

**Kenneth Faried, Panathiniakos center**

"I'm always ready to play. I love basketball. I try to stay in the best shape possible all the time, year round. When my number's called, if it's called, I'm ready. I was watching the EuroLeague. I was watching teams do their things, and I was watching Pana because of Juancho and Marius, my two guys over here. I wanted to see how good they were going to be this year because I thought Lessort was going to be back, but I saw a lot of injuries and stuff happening to them and I'm like, 'Man, that's tough.' But for me, it's an opportunity. This is what I signed up for. I didn't know how many minutes Coach was going to give me, but I knew I just wanted to come out here and play and be able to showcase that I can play at this level of the EuroLeague and that I've still got it at the age of 35, going on 36."

Pregame quotes, Round 10: 'We’ve had a very important chat inside the locker room’

Seven Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv scorers reached double figures, led by Elijah Bryant's 24, in Tuesday's 114-89 blowout of Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz in Round 10 of the 2025-26 EuroLeague.

Bryant leads the charge, as Hapoel flexes offensive prowess against Baskonia

In its first-ever EuroLeague season, Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv has taken the league by storm thanks to its dominant offense. Numbers confirm it, but the eye test is even more convincing.

Coach Dimitris Itoudis’s team came into the game against Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz averaging a league-high 90.9 points. When the final whistle was blown on Tuesday’s clash, the Israeli side would better that average by 23 points in rolling to a 114-89 victory.

The hosts netted at least 26 points in each of the four quarters, reaching the 100-point mark for the fifth time in 10 games this season. Seven players recorded double digits in scoring, underscoring the depth in Hapoel’s roster this season, with Elijah Bryant being the one who stood out for the second game in a row.

After being the man of the moment last time out against Dubai Basketball by recording a season-high 25 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, Bryant exceled again on Tuesday.

The 30-year-old guard shot 7-for-10 from inside the arc, 1-for-2 from deep and a perfect 7-for-7 from the charity stripe. He was 1 board away from a double-double, as he registered 24 points and 9 rebounds. He also bagged 4 assists, pacing his team in all three categories to end the game on a career-high PIR of 39.

More importantly, he stepped up when Baskonia pushed for a comeback in the third quarter. The visitors were trailing 69-55 before mounting a 2-11 surge fueled by Hamidou Diallo, who brought them within 71-66.

Enter Bryant, who kept grinding away on both ends. The Hapoel guard netted 9 of Hapoel’s next 11 points and made some important defensive stops to single-handedly restore a double-digit cushion, 81-68, dealing a major blow to Baskonia’s comeback hopes.

Bryant was assisted by an extraordinary Chris Jones, who went a perfect 6-for-6 on field goals and scored a season-high 15 points – the same tally as his fellow guard, Antonio Blakeney. Vasilije Micic and Vasilije Micic netted 11 points each, with Tyler Ennis and Dan Oturu grabbing 10 apiece.

In fact, all 12 Hapoel players who stepped on the floor got their names on the scoreboard, as the hosts fired on all cylinders. The Israeli side shot 28-for-44 from inside the rainbow and 12-for-21 from deep, missing just 1 of their 23 free-throw attempts.

“Offensively, we were there consistently and we controlled the game,” Itoudis said in the post-game press conference. “We actually took what was given from their defense, because, although they have size, our guards found a way to create the extra player all the time with good spacing.”

Despite coming into this game averaging a league-low 8.9 offensive rebounds, Hapoel ended the game on 12 offensive boards, winning the battle by outrebounding the visitors 33-19.

“We have a long roster and we have many injured players, but today we had seven players in double digits,” Itoudis told EuroLeague TV after the game. “We had 33 to 19 rebounds, we hustled and when we found the way to make some significant stops on their creativity - because the game was open - it was very important.”

Having opened the double-round week with a dominant win, Hapoel will look to lean on its offense in its bid to double its victories by defeating defending champion Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul on the road. Should Itoudis’s side pull off a similar offensive outing, there might be no stopping them on Thursday night.

The guard was one of the seven Hapoel players to score in double figures

Wade Baldwin came up big in Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul’s 84-75 win over Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv in Munich, Germany in Round 10 of the EuroLeague

Fenerbahce survives Maccabi comeback to take crucial win

“This year, we love to give our Fenerbahce fans a heart attack for second halves of games, throughout the entirety of the games,” Wade Baldwin said with a grin after Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul’s 84-75 win over Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv in Munich, Germany.

“This was a tough Maccabi team. We found a way through toughness, through defense to get a win.”

Baldwin didn’t just talk about toughness, he backed it up with composure when it mattered. The guard, who finished with 17 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, was the driving force behind Fenerbahce’s victory. His control in key moments and ability to deliver when the game tightened up helped his team stay steady whenever Maccabi threatened to shift the momentum.

Defense set the tone for Fenerbahce. Against Maccabi, the EuroLeague’s second-highest-scoring team at 90.7 points per game, the plan was simple: slow them down. The Istanbul side executed it to perfection in the first half, holding the opponent to just 30 points with physical defense. Taking advantage of Maccabi’s lapses on the other end, Fenerbahçe built a double-digit lead by halftime and established control of the game.

The second half told a different story. Fenerbahce stretched the lead to as many as 20 points, but Maccabi mounted a furious comeback, erasing the deficit and even pulling ahead. The key for the Israeli side was its dominance on the offensive glass. Maccabi grabbed 20 offensive rebounds, 38 in total, and used those second-chance opportunities to disrupt Fenerbahce’s rhythm and swing the momentum.

Coach Sarunas Jasikevicius reflected on that stretch and said: ‘‘For 25 minutes we were ok, we were playing not something amazing, but pretty decent basketball, and then in 10 minutes we lost totally the concentration, and we let them back in the game.’’

Fenerbahce regained momentum and pulled the game back in its favor thanks to its better shooting from deep. Both teams struggled from beyond the arc in the first half, with Maccabi hitting just 1-of-13, but the hosts found their range when it mattered most. Devon Hall was key in the third, knocking down 3 timely threes and finishing with 15 points and 6 rebounds. Talen Horton-Tucker added 13 points, hitting big shots to keep Fenerbahce in control and seal the win.

From Maccabi, Roman Sorkin and Jaylen Hoard stood out, keeping their team in the game. Sorkin finished with 22 points and 8 rebounds, while Hoard posted a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds.

‘‘I am proud of where we came back to the game.’’ said Maccabi Coach Oded Kattash. ‘‘We stayed there even though we couldn’t find our shots in the first half, we were down 20, but we were there and that’s very important. Again, we had a chance to win the game, we have to learn from that.’’

Fenerbahce will look to carry its momentum into the second game of the double-round week when it faces league leader Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv.

Lady luck smiles on Partizan in a heart-stopping win over Monaco 

One could not make up a more thrilling climax to what looked like a lop-sided basketball game after Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade snatched a 78-76 home win over AS Monaco from the jaws of defeat after throwing away a 20-point fourth quarter lead.

The contest seemed to be heading for a dull finish with Partizan ahead 74-54 ahead early in the fourth, having hit a barrage of three-pointers for fun as they ran the visitors ragged for three quarters in front of a raucous 20,000 home crowd.

Monaco looked down and out for the count, as the visiting team’s body language suggested it had thrown in the towel. Suddenly, Partizan’s offense was ground to a screeching halt as the hosts committed a flurry of turnovers while the French outfit kept hitting nothing but net at the other end, slashing the home team’s lead to bits.

Then the unthinkable happened. Monaco completed a 0-22 run, which turned the game on its head, silencing the home crowd as the visitors nosed ahead 74-76 in the home straight. The festive atmosphere inside Belgrade Arena gave way to utter shock and disbelief with 2 minutes left on the game clock.

And then the final twist, as Partizan scored the last 4 points of a heart-stopping rollercoaster and sent the bewildered crowd into a frenzy after treating them to an ice-cold shower.

“We just couldn’t find the bucket in the fourth quarter and that’s something we’ve been struggling with,’ said Duane Washington, who paced Partizan on a game-high 22 points, including 11 of his team’s opening 15 in the first quarter. “Today we got lucky in the end, but that’s still not good enough on our part, we’ve got to finish games a lot better than that,” Washington added in his postgame comments.

Washington’s effort was complemented by that of Aleksej Pokusevski, who came up with his best display of the season as he racked up 17 points and 7 boards. Sterling Brown and Nick Calathes added 10 apiece, the latter producing his most mature performance since he joined Partizan from Monaco a fortnight ago.

“Our fourth quarter meltdown was unacceptable and we’ll have to look at the video to ascertain how it came about,” said Pokusevski. “We played very well tonight and stuck to the game plan until that late collapse, but fortunately we showed character and composure in the last 2 minutes to grind out the win,” he added.

Partizan head coach Zeljko Obradovic seemed less distraught, having gone through the grinder a fair few times during his illustrious 35-year long career on the sidelines, during which he's won a record nine EuroLeague titles with five different clubs.

“I keep saying that focus is the most important thing and whereas we have some creative players on our roster, they become ineffective when they tire,” said the 65-year-old tactician. “The fourth quarter was just ridiculous, but lady luck smiled on us after we found ourselves on the receiving end a few times this term. We committed far too many turnovers in the home stretch, but it’s part and parcel of the game and we just have to keep working hard to eradicate the errors.”

Obradovic referred to Partizan’s heartbreaking home defeat by FC Barcelona in Round 8, when Will Clyburn’s 3-pointer from way downtown gave the Catalan side a 76-78 win after the visitors trailed for the lion’s share of the contest. Having tamely lost the Round 9 fixture at Olympiacos Piraeus, Partizan headed into the Monaco clash hard-pressed to snap a four-game losing streak and the Serbian side nearly cracked under the most intense pressure.

Monaco, which was paced by Nikola Mirotic on 17 points while Mike James and Alpha Diallo added 13 apiece, missed a chance to make it four wins in a row, as the unlikely late opportunity that presented itself in the home stretch vanished in thin air over the last 2 minutes.

“For 30 minutes, we just weren’t on the court, but for 10 minutes we played really well and I am proud of my players for staging the fightback,” said Monaco head coach Vassilis Spanoulis. “We missed some shots in the end but we showed character and we’ll move on to continue playing good basketball.” 

The home team almost threw away its victory after the French side had turned the tide with late 0-22 rally
